 The BEST July 4, 2007

Very Informative and Helpful. My wife and I could not make it to the Lamaze classes and we still glad we didn't. This video is great. My wife and I enjoy watching it, and learned a lot. The baby came out like a piece of cake (my wife doesn't agree on that one completely) but we both knew what we where doing)
We read the reviews that mostly criticized Sheri's sense of humor but we took a chance. Her humor is not that bad actually. She gets funny and sometimes goes a bit over the edge, however she is very knowledgeable and definitely has a talent of teaching. When she is describing important stuff she is serious and right on the point.
Some reviews criticized the quality of film making. I am professional photographer and my wife is an art teacher and we both studied film in college. In our opinion the cinematography part of the video is quite appropriate, informative video doesn't have to be a master piece.
Highly recommend it.
 Hard program to watch October 29, 2007

This dvd is very difficult to watch. The instructor is very annoying. Her
inappropriate, unprofessional comments clearly make the couples in the class very uncomfortable. We were actually shocked by some of her poor attempts at humor. The entire program consists of this instructor lecturing to a small group of expectant couples, using outdated props and pointing to diagrams from old childbirth classes. You never get a real sense of what labor and birth are really like. Comfort measures and breathing techniques are extremely limited. All she does is lecture to this class. The format is boring and the content limited.
There are better ways to prepare for childbirth.

Our biggest concern was retaining all the information one 8 hour lamaze class was going to give. The DVD's were very helpful because we could watch it and retain the information at our own pace, although we procrastinated until very last moment to finish the DVD. It was extremely helpful to be able watch it at the very moment we needed it ( the evening I went into delivery ). Sherri kept us laughing while we learned----- " a mucus what ! " and prepared us for one of the greatest moments in our lives.

We got the DVDs because we wanted the information, but didn't want to sit in a room full of strangers to get it, and we wanted to be flexible with our schedule. These DVDs are perfect for those criteria. Plus, we can watch them more than once and review specific parts on our schedule. Others have complained about the humor, but I don't see it as any worse than what you'd probably hear at any other seminar; she's just trying to be entertaining. The only downside is that she seems to "encourage" natural childbirth and "discourage" use of drugs. I would prefer if she would give the pros and cons of both and leave it at that. Otherwise, they are terrific and I would definitely recommend them.

We had been searching for childbirth classes and could only find classes that cost around $150. Most of them were only 1 day and would last around 8 hours. We decided to try out this DVD class first. We love it. She is funny but has managed to communicate a lot of knowledge. Plus we can review when we get closer to the actual birth.
